How God Loves - Poem by Jennifer Arcila (Nov. 2, 2016)

How God Loves

I love you -Yes, I do!

I love you - Yes, it’s true!

Do you know how grand you are?

You are born of Source, You are born of Love

You are born of ecstasy,

My divine and artful inspiration, 

A unique and utterly sublime creation.

The Spirit of God dwells in you, a sacred union to now renew,

Through you and around you. We are One, ever true

Remember this, my dear, albeit no small feat,

In this awareness, in consciousness - we frequently meet.

In everything you do

and all things gone through,

I always have been and always will be with you.

"I Think, I Breathe" - Poem by Jennifer Arcila (Oct. 31, 2016)

“I Think, I Breathe”

Poem by Jennifer Arcila, Oct. 31, 2016

A troublesome thought pops into your mind... 

Simply be Aware and close your eyes
Don’t believe everything you think
Some thoughts, my friend, have no heart; they’re easy, lazy lies, 

They flow in streams, link to link, leading many to the brink.

Simply notice; breathe into that thought
bring yourself into your heart center.
The Truth is pure, supreme, and eternal - it cannot be bought.
Let Breath be your loyal, loving mentor.

Let truth float to the surface, for you and all to see,
All in due course, my child; the timing is just right.

Surrender those thoughts to the easy, breezy light.
And so, my child, right now - You simply breathe, simply BE.

* The End - Thank you *

 This quotation is powerful: It is about Consciousness and Awareness of our mind and thoughts. Our Soul and Spirit Self is that energy/voice/inner energy that feels loving, nurturing and balanced; it does not judge or criticise and it's the voice that stays with you throughout your life guiding you to your joyful path through compassion, wisdom and God's grace. You are not your thoughts; thoughts are thoughts and they come and go and change. Anchor yourself, not to your thinking, but rather to that inner presence and energy that feels love, sincerity and connection to a higher power...a creative force that pushes you to be loving, kind, caring, and generous. Trust yourself to discover this Inner Resource and to focus on this particular relationship.

Remind yourself daily, moment to moment: How am I breathing? Breathe in through the Nose, deeply into the belly, and exhale through the Nose, releasing whatever does not serve your joy and highest good. Let it go and come back to your Inner Peace.

Where does Inspiration come from?

Where does inspiration come from?

I've always been an expressive and creative person and yet recently, in the last 1-2 months I have been experiencing myself as going through a new, enhanced phase of self-expression and creativity. Specifically, I've been more impulsed and motivated to make short videos on positivity, Life Coaching, NLP, wellbeing, gym workouts, and selfies that are linked with some positive message (mainly on Instagram).

Some days I feel like an fountain bursting forth unlimited ideas, concepts, lessons learned, and insights. Other days I will feel myself quieter and calmer...either I want to write a post however no tangible subject that I'm 'feeling', and other times it is just a matter of being too busy with work and life basics.

Ultimately, anything we create and generate requires energy. Indeed, everything in life and the world is energy in one form or another. So when we create anything we are transmuting a preexisting unseen energy, energy that is sourced from ? - Within or from the external world? This strikes me as a more metaphysical question which I don't intend to unravel just right now.

All in all, I've noticed a steadily ascending curve of production and output, which I feel is great. The moment of creating something new, visual or written, that I can share with the world gives me a thrill, sense of accomplishment and personal pride. Truly our global digital age makes it incredibly possible to share content worldwide over across different age groups, nationalities, languages, backgrounds, etc.

So as I continue to create, produce and desire doing so, I naturally wonder: Where does one's passion, drive, enthusiasm or creativity come from? Do we come with a set amount or quatity of "creativity cells" or creative quota, or quotient which we expire once we reach the bottom of capacity?

Or is creativity unlimited, infinite, boundless, eternally multiplying, abounding and able to be increased when we choose?

Can anyone become more creative if they choose doing so?

What are the advantages of being creative - how does it serve us?

These questions only scratch the surface of a meaty topic, a topic for introspection.

It seems to me that if you are creative you will also be more adaptable, flexible and visionary. These 3 key resources are intrinsically linked to any person's success. The creative mindset coupled with these other qualities better enable us to surpass obstacles, take on more new life experiences, be ready for more progress, advancement, promotion; counter challenges with more of a 'can-do' attitude, and it appears to prime you for a life of optimal levels of satisfaction.

If we can be creative and we can adapt to almost any situation.
Being creative, we can be flexible in working our peers and successfully maneuvering all of life's negotiations.
If we are creative, we can indeed visualize and be visionary in creating the life we want and the circumstances that we'd prefer.

With Creativity you can innovate solutions, think outside of the box, stretch the limits, and create something new. This is where entrepreneurs come from; this is the source of all genius inventions that ever were and ever will be.


In closing: It seems that Creativity is quite a powerful asset. How creative are you willing to be?

Personal Maxims - Things I Know To Be True

Good morning!

Happy & great morning to you :-D

It's a beautiful, blessed and magnificent new day. New adventures, magic and love are here upon us. I'm really looking forward to this day's unfolding. It has already begun in a magnificent and fun way. Awesome! Sometimes words are not enough to completely encompass and transmit our feelings and that is OK. At times it is better to simply FEEL and let it be without trying to narrow it down into verbal, written form.

Whenever you catch yourself in a moment of bliss where you are feeling a lot and somehow you don't find the perfect words to express what this means for you, just let it be and simply FEEL IT. Allow yourself to bask in that emotion, that beautiful feeling, that experience. You will set this more deeply into your memory and psyche and allow your heart and soul to connect more deeply with the moment.

Some moments are too exquisite and God-like to shape into human form and language. 

That's special and when you experience such moments realize that you are blessed.

Things I believe & know to be true:

• God is my strength
• God's love, strength, and grace makes all things possible.
• Everything happens for a reason.
• I love to love.
• I love to be at peace.
• Things are always working for me.

• We deserve to be happy.
• Gratitude is the key to happiness.
•  
• We all want to love and be loved.
• I am always in the right place at the right time.
• Things happen at the right time.
• We all like and seek clarity.
• I don't need to know how things will work out; I trust they will.
• I don't need to know why things happened as they did; some things are not for me to know and that is divine.
• Soul Mate Love is my destiny.
• Trusting feels good.
• It feels good to move forward.
• It feels good to Connect.
• People want to be appreciated, recognized and understood.
• Love makes all things possible.
• True Love starts within, with our Self.
• Thoughts create reality.
• Mind is a powerful ally; our mind has unlimited potential.
• We are more powerful than we think.
• I am more than I appear to be. The strength and power of the Universe rests inside of me. (From "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari" by Robin Sharma)
• When your heart and soul truly, deeply desire a dream, the whole Universe conspires in your favor to make it a reality.
• We want something because we think that in the having of it we will feel better.
• The purpose of my life is to live in joy, peace, love and appreciation.
• Laughter is powerful medicine.
• Mother Nature has healing powers for the heart and soul.
• All things take time; patience is learned over time.
• Every day in every way I am getting better.
• Life keeps getting better and better.
• The universe is always providing signs; just pay attention.
• If it feels like you have to try too hard or it's just not easily working out, and it takes you away from being yourself and feeling good - let it go, it's not for you.
• I am responsible for my happiness, nobody else.
• I am not responsible for anyone else's happiness.
• I am whole and complete; everything I need to thrive and succeed exists within me.

Why be Strong - A New Poem: Piercing the Darkness

Good morning! It was a beautiful and magnificent night of sleep and now today, this moment, is a new beginning and fresh start. Thank you, God.

A new poem...my new belief system. Enjoy xx

Piercing the Darkness - 

Poem by J.Arcila (10 Dec 2014)

A divine moment begins,
the sun's light pierces through the alley drawn those two drowsy buildings,
A new alignment.
My community greets me and we are one,
We can set the tone, we can choose our filter,

I put on my dancing shoes and ready myself for fun,
What a delightful start; I'm giddy with anticipation.
I love who I love and this love expands

To be clear-minded, to allow,
to take it easy...and go with the flow,
That zing of inspiration flutters awake in my soul,
Like a bird in Central Park at dawn boldly shaking off bits and pieces of frost.

Lady Phoenix spreads her wings, she's been growing strong
She has new keys to soon-to-be-discovered doors
To paradise.

Paradise blossoms through the portal of the internal lens,
A focal point directed from and towards my heart.
Divine inspiration, divine allowing,
insightful growth and expansion,
being all that I can be, the Greatness that I Am.

It has always been there, now having shed its layers
ironically blooming in this nascent Winter
It's magnificent to anticipate how Lady Phoenix will evolve
into the fruitful Spring, through the salubrious Summer, and
further still through subsequent seasons,
rising higher still,
piercing the darkness to reveal an eternal truth

A Truth revealed from within to without, forevermore,
Like the Sun's brilliance - shining because it must.

Always the right time to be Thankful

I wrote this email draft (below) to myself back in June 2014 and as I've cleaned up my inbox recently I came across this gem. It seems like I wrote in a moment of deeply felt inspiration and joy. Now I'm bringing it to the light of day :-). It's always the right moment to be thankful and it always feels good.

Working with NLP and Coaching I've learned about the power of language and to be aware of Meta Model language violations with terms like: Always, never, all and everyone.

However, rules have exceptions and this is one of them :) Gratitude will always make you feel better and improve your outlook on life.
Love you all,
xx
